Watch trailer

Mission Impossible III director and Alias creator J.J. Abrams resurrects the classic science fiction franchise created by Gene Roddenberry with this feature film that embraces the rich history of the influential television and film series while also exploring some uncharted territory. Heroes star Zachary Quinto assumes the role of the Federation Starfleet lieutenant and Vulcan made famous in the original series by Leonard Nemoy (who also appears in an older incarnation of his original role), with Anton Yelchin stepping into the role of U.S.S. Enterprise navigator Pavel Checkov, Zoe Saldana assuming the role of communications officer Uhura, Simon Pegg keeping the ship in top shape as chief engineer Montgomery Scott, and Erica Bana tormenting the benevolent space explorers as the villainous Nero. Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle co-star John Cho also boards the Enterprise as staff psychiatrist Hikaru Sulu, with Chris Pine and Karl Urban assuming the legendary roles of Captain Kirk and Leonard "Bones" McCoy, respectively. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"Paramount has reshuffled its 2008-2009 release calendar, and the big headline is the move of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek from December 2008 to Spring 2009, in order to position the film as a summer tentpole instead of a Christmas/awards offering. Which seems like a no-brainer, but this project has been so slow getting off the ground that we’re sure SOMEONE will cry red flag. But really, isn’t the bigger red flag the bumping of Eddie Murphy’s Nowhereland from Sept. 26, 2008, to June 12, 2009? I guess the fate of Eddie Murphy projects is not at the top of the list of nerd concerns. The middling-to-good post-strike news: most writers whose deals were terminated by the strike will now find themselves “free agents,” and the spec script market is apparently expected to shortly be on fire. The bad news: TV networks and studios are planning to be extremely frugal about pushing projects into development and signing long-term deals. Major stars like George Clooney and Tom Haks pitched in on an a fu ... " [More]

"I haven't done any research on the new Trek movie, but it's been covered pretty extensively in some of the mags & sites I read, so here's what I've gleaned so far.It's about Spock & Kirk meeting in their Starfleet years. Even though, according to the movies and original series, they never met until Kirk took command of the Enterprise. It also stars Nimoy as Spock in the future. It has something to do with one of those convenient Star Trek temporal anomalies, and someone is going back in time to alter events(which, I suppose, will explain why Kirk and Spock are meeting so much earlier than they should).I don't really know anything more than that, and for the most part I'll probably just keep it that way. Sometimes I like to be surprised when I watch a movie. " [More]

"Heh no problem. I just was honestly curious if anyone knew what source was the basis for the new Star Trek movie. Do you think it will pull suff from books like this? I have done no research on it whatsoever, so I'm just being lazy and seeing if anyone here knows.And yes it was a long blog, but interesting. Although you must realize when posting that I'm compelled to read anything posted in a group on this site. " [More]

"Are you thinking this book might be part of the basis for the new Star Trek movie? Not that it wasn't interesting, but just wondering how it related to the group. Not that it needs to, but again, just wondering. " [More]

"So, I finally got around to seeing the new Star Trek trailer today and my goodness it was amazing. Very basic teaser where at first you aren't too sure what's going on and then the most amazing of surprises at the end. I'm kind of skeptical of Abrams' work on Star Trek and the thought of prequels just sickens me to start with, but this looks kind of promising.Time to get on ebay and order my uniform so I can watch the movie in style. I can't wait to see it in theatres. " [More]

"The above trailer is a fake. The real teaser for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek should be attached to prints of Cloverfield this weekend and is scheduled to hit the interweb next Monday (it will likely be leaked earlier). Apparently some people were tricked last week into thinking this fan-made teaser was the real deal, but that just seems ludicrous. Sure, the video is put together decently enough. Sure, there have been some teasers that give us no new footage save for a new logo. However, there is nothing about this teaser that seems appropriate to how Paramount should want to market the new Trek. If the studio had actually released this, I would have believed its executives knew nothing about movie marketing whatsoever. First of all, Paramount would never want to sell this reboot/prequel thing to the people who would most appreciate the trailer’s use of music, voice-over and footage from past Star Trek movies. Instead the studio is likely to capitalize more on the fact that the movie is ... " [More]

"J.J. Abrams says he will “honor his contractual obligation to work as a director” on his upcoming Star Trek reinvention, but will also serve some time in the picket lines outside Paramount, where writers are apparently chanting things like “Who’s got more money than they can count? Paramount!” (There’s no indication as to who raised their pencil to write that one.) Also seen on picket lines yesterday: James L. Brooks, Tina Fey, and the writers of Lost. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s two most beloved presidential candidates both issued statements yesterday in support of the writers. Barack Obama characterized the fight as “a test of whether media corporations are going to give writers a fair share of the wealth their work creates or continue concentrating profits in the hands of their executives.” Hillary Clinton was, predictably, a little less acerbic in her criticism of those executives. “I support the Writers Guild’s pursuit of a fair contract that pay them for their work in all mediums, ...
